There was a hint of madness in his eyes, and the anger in his heart was as unstoppable as a volcano about to erupt. In a moment of impulse, Bruno Fernandez raised his arm in anger and elbowed his opponent Victor Camarasa. This bad behavior instantly caused an uproar on the field. The audience exclaimed, unable to believe what they saw. Victor Camarasa fell to the ground in pain, covering the part that was hit with both hands, with a painful expression on his face.
The referee on duty witnessed all this, and he blew the whistle without hesitation and ran to the scene of the incident. The referee's face was very serious, and his eyes revealed firmness and justice. He knew that such bad behavior must not be tolerated. The referee took out the red card from his pocket without hesitation and held it high. The bright red color was particularly dazzling in the sun, accurately judging Bruno Fernandez's mistake.
The moment Bruno Fernandez saw the red card, his eyes were full of regret and despair. He knew that his momentary impulse not only put the team in a more difficult situation, but also made himself the target of public criticism. He slowly lowered his head, his hands hanging weakly on both sides of his body. He walked to the sidelines silently, his heart full of self-blame and guilt.
The players of Manchester United were also shocked by this sudden scene. They gathered around, some tried to find the referee to plead for Bruno Fernandes, and some tried to comfort Bruno Fernandes, but nothing helped. The team's head coach Mourinho also paced anxiously on the sidelines. He knew that Bruno Fernandes' red card put Manchester United in a more passive situation. Not only were they behind in the score, but they were now one man short.
The fans at Old Trafford were very disappointed with Bruno Fernandes' behavior. Their faces were full of frustration and dissatisfaction, and they began to boo. At first, it was a low, suppressed "buzzing" sound, as if an angry bee was flapping its wings. Each sound was filled with dissatisfaction and blame, trembling slightly in the air, making people feel nervous. Gradually, the boos became louder and more frequent, like rolling thunder echoing over the stadium. The sound seemed to have substantial power, impacting everyone's eardrums, making people's hearts beat involuntarily with the strong rhythm.
Some fans stood up, blushing, waving their arms vigorously, and the boos burst out from their mouths, as if to vent all the disappointment and anger in their hearts. Some bit their lips tightly, with tears of disappointment flashing in their eyes. Although their boos were not so loud, they were full of deep pain and helplessness. The entire Old Trafford stadium seemed to have become a huge emotional melting pot, and the boos were the blazing flames, burning everyone's heart.
This was the first time that Old Trafford had boos this season. The boos were like sharp daggers, stabbing the players on the field, reminding them of their mistakes. It was also like surging waves, constantly hitting the team's ship that was swaying in the storm, making everyone deeply feel the disappointment and anger of the fans at the moment. The boos, with endless appeal, made the whole world seem to be immersed in an atmosphere of disappointment.

Manchester United's players walked back to the locker room dejectedly. At this moment, the entire locker room was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere. The tall figure of head coach Mourinho stood in the center, his face as gloomy as the sky before the storm.
Mourinho's eyes slowly swept across the faces of each player, revealing severity and dissatisfaction in his eyes. He cleared his throat, and his voice sounded low and powerful: "I am very disappointed with your performance in the first half of the game." His words were like heavy stones, hitting the players' hearts hard.
"Look at your performance on the field! Disorganized offense, loose defense, low-level mistakes. You are Manchester United, a team with a glorious history and glory, not an amateur team!" Mourinho's voice gradually became louder, full of anger and blame.
He walked to the tactical board and tapped the picture on the board with the pen in his hand. "In terms of offense, you lack sufficient tacit understanding and cooperation. The pass was random, the running position was not active, and too many opportunities were wasted. Jamal Musiala's breakthrough was wonderful, but the subsequent attack did not keep up. Romelu Lukaku had several good opportunities in the penalty area, but they were all resolved by the opponent's goalkeeper. You must be more decisive, calmer, and seize every opportunity to break the opponent's goal.. "
Then, Mourinho pointed to the defensive area. "Look at our defense again, it's full of loopholes! Bruno Fernandes' irrational behavior has brought great trouble to the team. You can't lose your mind because of a momentary emotion, which is a taboo on the court. Cardiff City's offense is not strong, but we gave them too many opportunities. In the second half, you must be more focused, improve the intensity of defense, and don't give the opponent any more chances. "
Mourinho stopped talking, and there was silence in the locker room, only the heavy breathing of the players. His eyes swept over everyone again, and his tone was slightly softened: "I believe you all have strength and fighting spirit. But football is a team sport that requires everyone's efforts and dedication. In the second half of the game, I hope to see your changes. Show your courage and determination and fight for the glory of Manchester United! ”
The players listened quietly to the coach's criticism, with guilt and self-blame on their faces. But at the same time, the flame of fighting spirit was ignited in their eyes.
The second half started again, and when Manchester United's players stepped onto the field again, their steps were firm and powerful. Although the fans in the audience were full of worries, they still tried their best to cheer for the team. The shouts were like war drums, inspiring Manchester United's soldiers to move forward bravely.
Manchester United first replaced left-back Luke Shaw with Rodrigo Hernandez. Although the team was one man less, it still retained enough offensive firepower in the midfield and frontcourt, fully demonstrating Manchester United's determination to win this game.
The game officially started, and Manchester United, like a hungry wolf pack, fired at Cardiff City's goal. launched a fierce attack. Aureliano Chuameni and Rodrigo Hernandez showed strong control in the midfield. They passed the ball accurately, organized the attack skillfully, and created opportunities for the forwards. Jamal Musiala was like a sharp dagger, moving freely on the court. With his excellent dribbling skills, he constantly attacked the defense of Cardiff City. Marcus Rashford was like a brave cheetah, always ready to catch the opportunity to shoot.
However, Cardiff City's defense was also extremely tenacious. They held their goal tightly and built a solid defense line with their bodies. Although Manchester United's attack was as turbulent as the tide, they never scored.
Time passed by every second, and the anxiety in the hearts of Manchester United's players also It was getting stronger and stronger. They knew that time was running out, and if they couldn't score a goal as soon as possible, the game would most likely end in failure.
In the 75th minute of the game, seeing that the players on the field were slow to open the situation, head coach Mourinho made a key substitution adjustment. Erling Haaland replaced the Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku, who had wasted many scoring opportunities in this game. This substitution decision made the audience excited. Erling Haaland, this young and powerful striker, his appearance undoubtedly brought new hope to Manchester United.
As soon as Erling Haaland came on the court, he showed his strong strength. His tall body was particularly eye-catching on the court, and his eyes revealed determination and confidence. He actively moved and communicated with his teammates. Cooperating tacitly, looking for a chance to score.
The players of Cardiff City felt the threat brought by Erling Haaland, and they strengthened their defense against him. One of the two central defenders, Bruno Ecuel Manga and Sean Morrison, always followed him; however, Erling Haaland was not intimidated by their defense. With his excellent physical fitness and keen sense of smell in front of the goal, he constantly created trouble for the goal of Cardiff City.
In the 89th minute of the game, Manchester United's continuous attack finally paid off. At this time, Aurelien Chuameni stood in the midfield like a master who controlled the overall situation. His eyes were focused and sharp, staring closely at the situation on the court. At that moment, he keenly captured an excellent opportunity. He slightly turned sideways, his leg muscles instantly tightened, and then kicked hard, sending a precise long pass. The ball seemed to be given life, drawing a beautiful arc in the air and flying towards the set goal.
Erling Haaland, the tall and powerful striker, has been looking for opportunities on the field like a cheetah. He is highly focused and ready to explode at any time. When Aurelien Tsoumeni's long pass flew out, Erling Haaland immediately noticed this opportunity. A flash of excitement flashed in his eyes, and his body started quickly as if triggered by a spring.His speed was so fast that it was amazing, like a flash of lightning across the court.
Bruno Ecuel Manga, the central defender of Cardiff City, had been closely guarding Erling Haaland, but he was still a step slower when Erling Haaland started. Erling Haaland was like a gust of wind, instantly leaving Bruno Ecuel Manga behind. Bruno Ecuel Manga widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, and he tried desperately to catch up, but Erling Haaland's speed was too fast.
Bruno Ecuel Manga, who was in the penalty area, was in a dilemma at the moment. He didn't dare to foul, because he knew that if he fouled, it would probably give Manchester United a chance to take a penalty kick. It was just such a hesitation that he had lost the defensive advantage and could only watch Erling Haaland rushing towards the goal, his heart full of helplessness and regret.
Erling Haaland moved forward quickly with the ball, and there was only the goal in his eyes. His steps were firm and powerful, and every step was filled with the belief that he would win. Cardiff City goalkeeper Neil Etheridge saw Erling Haaland rushing towards him, and his heart tightened. He rushed out and flew towards Erling Haaland like an arrow from a string.
